Week 4-1D Element Creation Challenge

Aim- To craete 1d elements

Objective- To mesh the given component with the size of 5 units and create the 1-D elements with the given cross section and D.O.F.

Procedure-

1.Import the igs model from import tool and create the mid surface for the bracket

2.Mesh the brackets with thickness 5 units

3. Create the rbe2 link and constrain the translation D.O.F for the same

4.Create the Rod element

Cross-Section: BOX- Dimension a= 12 mm

dimension b=10 mm

Thickness t= 0.75 mm

5.Create Rbe3 element on bracket 2 and constrain all D.O.F for the same

6. Create the Beam element

Cross-Section: I Section- Dimension a= 8 mm

Dimension b= 10 mm

Dimension c= 8.5 mm

Thickness t1= 0.75 mm

Thickness t2= .6 mm

Thickness t3= .6 mm

7.Constraining the x and y dof for rbe3 link

8. Creating the Bar element

Cross-section: X section- Dimension DIM1= 5 mm

Thickness DIM2= 1.2 mm

Dimension DIM3= 10 mm

Thickness DIM4= 1.2mm

9. Apply the mass of magnitude 10 with the RBE2 link.

10. Join the two components with Spring elements.

11. Turn on the 1-D detailed element representation and the final result component will be viewed as shown in the image below
